AVID Entertainment's new West End series moves from strength to strength with this laterst release from the legendary (and controversial) Creators of Jazz. The Original Dixieland JazzBand. Led by cornetist Nick La Rocca, the ODJB released what is acknowledged as the very first jazz record in 1917, both sides of which open our double CD. The band caused a sensation and went on to define the Roaring 20.s and set in motion the beginning of the Jazz Age.
